Finally, my own contribution is The Whitest Kids U Know, who are the kind of funny that I thought they must be British, except no accent so maybe Canadian? But then all the jokes are about America, so I'm like, wow, funny Americans! My sixteen year old cousin posted about it on her facebook, so it's either totally cool or completely played out, I'm not sure which.

30 Rock, the Office (US or UK), Battlestar Galactica and Avatar: the Last Airbender are some shows that are available in their entireties (except the most recent season if it's not out on DVD yet for the first two). The first five seasons of Weeds are also available.

Subscribers to Netflix can watch some of their offerings immediately via an internet-connected device like a computer or gaming system. I use my wifi-enabled Blu-Ray player, for example. This thread will give people who can stream Netflix new things to watch with just a click of the mouse.

I spent about four months watching every episode of Have Gun Will Travel on Netflix, an old Western series that ran from 1956 to 1960, starring Richard Boone as Paladin, all 90 or so episodes.

The other night I watched Camille, starring James Franco and Sienna Miller. I don't believe this movie ever saw the inside of a movie theater. Sienna's character Camille died in a motorcycle wreck, but didn't die. Meh. It was stupid. I heard somewhere once that she sucked at acting, but she didn't do bad at all, even with a bad script, stupid plot, etc. James Franco was... well, James Franco.

I just started watching Netflix streams heavily. As far as obscure, I agree with Mr. Pea that all the cool kids like Big Man Japan.

Also, maybe everybody else already knew this, but it was news to me that there was a live-action miniseries of the first Discworld books. I finished The Color of Magic and started the next episode, The Light Fantastic. They're not mega-budget productions, but they're fairly well done, I think. Jeremy Irons makes a good Patrician.

I've also slogged through the entire "Almost The Truth" 5- (or 6?) part Monty Python documentary. I never would have gotten around to that by DVR'ing it.

Also they have Let the Right One In (the Swedish version) on streaming, last I checked.

And hey, it was obscure-ish when I watched it!

It's better than the US version, which I don't think was really different enough to justify making it. I'd seen the Swedish version, and I felt like I was watching the same movie with a few details changed and regretted spending the money.

Peter O'Toole stars as the son of an Earl who thinks he's Jesus, who comes into his inheritance when his father perishes in an autoerotic asphyxiation accident, with Coral Browne and William Mervyn as his scheming relatives, James Villiers as his dimwitted cousin, Alistair Sim as an Anglican bishop, Arthur Lowe as a card-carrying Communist butler, and Carolyn Seymour as "Marguerite Gautier, a.k.a. Grace Shelley because she doesn't speak any French".

Also featuring a bear in a top hat and morning coat, the High-Voltage Messiah, and several song-and-dance numbers.

I wish Alex Cox's Revengers Tragedy was on Netflix instant. He takes the Jacobean tragedy by Thomas Middleton and puts it in a post-apocalyptic Liverpool, starring Christopher Eccleston, Derek Jacobi, and Eddie Izzard. But it isn't, so I bought the DVD instead.
